What Hamas' "March of Return" Is Really All About
(Times of Israel) David Horovitz - Organizing and encouraging mass demonstrations at the border to face off against Israeli troops, while branding the campaign non-violent, is merely the latest iteration of Hamas' use of Gazans as human shields for its aggression. Demanding a "right of return" to Israel for tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees and their millions of descendants is nothing less than a call for the destruction of Israel by demographic means. No Israeli government could accept this demand, since it would spell the end of Israel as a Jewish state. Hamas' Gaza chief Yahya Sinwar set out the ultimate goal, telling Gazans at the border on Friday, "The March of Return will continue...until we remove this transient border." The protests "mark the beginning of a new phase in the Palestinian national struggle on the road to liberation and 'return.'...Our people can't give up one inch of the land of Palestine."
